HEY CAMPERS: Please join us in welcoming Amy Martin, RN, to the Smile-A-Mile family! 👏

Amy is serving as our Head Nurse for all Smile-A-Mile camps this summer, helping care for and support the incredible children and families we serve throughout the season.

Amy has been a pediatric nurse for over 25 years and a dedicated Smile-A-Mile volunteer for most of that time. We are so excited to have her in this more official role, representing an important continuity of care for our campers and families between camp sessions.

Welcome to camp, Amy! 💛

Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. 🇺🇸

Their courage, selflessness, and dedication will never be forgotten. We are deeply grateful for the freedoms their sacrifice made possible.

Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day as we remember and reflect. ❤️

Family Camp was filled with laughter, connection, new memories, and so many meaningful moments. 💛

We’re thrilled to kick off an exciting new collaboration for our Smile-A-Mile family. 💛 Led by award-winning chef Rob McDaniel, Owner and Executive Chef of and , and his incredible team, we’re excited to launch cooking lessons for our participants. The first group to participate in these cooking classes was our young adults from The Next Mile!

The goal of this program is to equip them with basic cooking skills and easy go-to meals. And this week, they learned to make Chicken Tortellini Soup!

This partnership is all about building confidence, life skills, independence, and community in a fun and encouraging environment. We are so grateful to welcome Rob and his team and can’t wait to see the impact these hands-on experiences will have on our participants!
